Because warriors from all over the country have flocked to Kyoto in the past month for the huge bounty offered by the Cangtian Martial Alliance, and the auction house, which is a must-visit for warriors, has been particularly lively recently.
Different from the auctions held every ten days in various cities, Kyoto's auctions have auctions held every day. Therefore, early in the morning, the auction hall was already overcrowded. As soon as Duan Fei led Linglong into the auction hall, there were many people. Countless people stopped to pay attention.
Duan Fei thought for a moment, paused slightly, and landed behind Linglong.
Linglong was puzzled and asked with a frown: "What's wrong?"
"I don't want to be jealous to death" Duan Fei is very self-aware. What others pay attention to is Linglong behind him.
In a rather seductive gesture, Linglong smoothed her long hair hanging around her ears to the back of her head, revealing her fair and jade-like neck. She turned back and smiled at Duan Fei: "With this little courage, you still want me to be you?" woman?"
Duan Fei was embarrassed, and when he was about to step forward again, a short and sharp auction house clerk had already run up to the two of them: "Excuse me, gentlemen, are you here to sell items or bid for items? What are your instructions? I'm at your service. !¡±
¡°Come to buy something, I wonder if it¡¯s available here.¡± Duan Fei smiled and stepped forward to take over.
¡°Young master, if you don¡¯t have what you want at Muxin Auction House, you won¡¯t be able to find it anywhere in Longyang¡¡±
"Sucking Resentment Bone Flower!" Duan Fei calmly spit out four words.
"This Young Master, you are joking. No one has done this for a long time, digging up dead people's graves" The waiter stepped away with a smile and went to ask the next wave of customers.
Linglong looked unhappy and was about to leave the auction house, but Duan Fei was caught, "Let's go, since we're here, let's go up and take a look. Maybe you will be the hostess here in the future!"
"Someone noticed you" Linglong shook off Duan Fei's hand and followed Duan Fei to the second floor.
"It should be said that many people are paying attention to you!" Duan Fei said as if he didn't take it seriously. In fact, he had already noticed that there was someone who had been staring at him with a strange expression since he entered the auction house. The guy who just came here was him. of.
On the second floor of the auction house, there are open counters. There are more than a hundred counters at a glance. Herbs, weapons, animal cores, and even animal bones and skins are placed on each counter for visitors to browse and purchase. , which resulted in two Mu family warriors wearing yellow shirts guarding each counter.
What surprised Duan Fei even more was that not only were consignment goods sold on the second floor of the auction house, there were also specialized craftsmen in the southern corner of the second floor to process and forge weapons and armors. This reminded Duan Fei of a pig that he had almost forgotten. Skin.
Duan Fei nodded towards Linglong, and the two separated. Linglong was only interested in medicinal materials, so he naturally went to the counter where the medicinal herbs were placed to browse, while Duan Fei went straight to a tailor shop that specialized in processing soft armor.
On the road, amidst the bustling crowd, Duan Feiyuan Shen firmly locked onto the unskilled follower behind him and pretended to turn around casually. A well-dressed, short and fat middle-aged man ten meters away hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Duan. Flying eyes.
Just when Duan Fei was about to approach the tailor shop, the middle-aged fat man suddenly quickened his pace, pretending to overtake Duan Fei, and touched Duan Fei's hand.
The next moment, Duan Fei walked into the tailor shop. He took out the wolf tooth pig skin from the object holding talisman with his left hand, and there was a paper ball in his right hand.
This tailor shop, which lives on the second floor of the auction house, is not big. As soon as you enter, a fishy smell hits your nostrils. The shelves and even the floor are filled with various animal skins. There are three or five young apprentices, some of whom are using them. Some of the animal skins washed with saltwater were being cut and mended, while the gray-haired shopkeeper was leaning over the counter weakly, opening an ancient book.
"Our shop does not process beast skins, and do not bring skins from beasts lower than the second level. Our shop will not have time to do this kind of business within three months" After Duan Fei came in, the old shopkeeper shouted feebly without even raising his eyes. Dao, apparently, the sharp increase in the number of warriors coming to Beijing has caused their business to explode, and they have begun to pick and choose.
Duan Fei didn¡¯t say anything, he just threw the wolf tooth pig skin in his hand on the counter.
"You" The old man was about to rebuke angrily when his eyes glanced at the pigskin. Suddenly his cloudy eyes flashed and he held up the pigskin as if it were a treasure. "This I haven't seen it for many years. This must be four years ago." The skin of a wolf-toothed pig¡¡±
"Is this pigskin qualified enough to enter your shop?" Duan Feixiao asked.
"That's enough" The old man nodded his head fiercely.
"I mean, let you do it yourself!" Duan Fei continued.
The old man then raised his head, looked at Duan Fei seriously, and said seriously: "Young man, you probably didn't hunt this skin yourself, did you know?"What kind of skin is this? "
"Spike pigskin!" As soon as Duan Fei said this, all the waiters in the store stopped what they were doing and looked at him in surprise.
"Since you know it's a wolf-tusked pigskin, you should know that if I don't take action, they won't be able to cut a hole in this skin in three to five years!" The old man did not give his apprentice any face, and all the disciples heard that After saying that, everyone looked ashamed and continued to work with their heads down.
"This wolf-tusked pigskin of yours can be cut and sewn into two pieces of close-fitting soft armor with golden cicada silk. It can only defend against attacks by powerful warriors of the Wuzong" The old man unfolded the pigskin and said to himself.
"Jinchansi Duan Fei has never heard of this thing, but he knows with his toes that if he has never heard of it, it will definitely be ridiculously expensive.
"If you can find the core of the wolf-tusked pig, I will cut it and embed it into the leather armor, and introduce the earth energy in the beast core into the leather armor. Then, even the attack of the powerful King Wu can be blocked. Block" the old man continued nagging.
"I don't have golden cicada silk" Duan Fei spread his hands.
"As long as you have money" the old man said happily.
"How much" Duan Fei was a little worried. Don't force me to sell the egg by asking for a high price. Last time he was not willing to give the Golden Winged Dapeng King's egg to Yinhuan.
¡°Including processing fee, one million taels no counter-offer!¡± The old man said and dropped the pig skin in his hand, as if you thought it was expensive and took it away.
Duan Fei really wants to take things away. He has the Yuanjia Talisman, so the soft armor is dispensable, but Yinhuan and Linglong need it. If they are in any danger when he is not around, this soft armor can also provide multiple defenses. Isn't it?
"Two pieces, how long will it take!" Duan Fei asked.
"At least ten days!"
Duan Fei took out the core of the wolf-tusked pig and ten banknotes worth one hundred thousand taels, and pressed it on the counter with a "pop" "I'll pick it up on the night of New Year's Eve. If you can, just take it." !¡±
Without even looking at Duan Fei, the old man pulled out a list, wrote down the items to be collected, signed and stamped it and handed it to Duan Fei, "Come and get it when the time comes, I won't give it away!"
Duan Fei put away the list distressedly and left the tailor shop. Most of the 1.5 million taels he had collected from Pei Wu was gone like this. He walked to a secluded corner and quietly unfolded the paper ball handed to him by the fat old man:
¡°VIP Room No. 1, waiting for the young master!¡±
On the ball of paper, there are just these few words, which seem to have been written in a hurry and the handwriting is messy.
The VIP room is a place for receiving big customers or identifying the value of valuables for customers. It is heavily guarded and extremely quiet.
Duan Fei was hesitant. He didn¡¯t know the fat man at all. Moreover, now that he was in the Mu family¡¯s territory, it was hard to say that this was not a trap set by the Mu family for him.
But thinking about it on the other hand, this auction house used to belong to his Duan family, and my father also said that many of the guys who used to work at the auction house were retained by the Mu family. Did they recognize me? Duan Fei touched his face and thought this was nonsense.
He walked around the second floor alone and didn¡¯t see Linglong, so he asked a passing guy about the location of the VIP room and went down to the first floor.
The VIP room is located at the end of the first floor and is also the most heavily guarded place. From here, many precious auction items enter the auction house warehouse and wait for the auction. It seemed that there were only three or five warriors swaying around, but under Duan Fei's Yuan Shen perception, there were powerful Yuan Power fluctuations in those dark corners and even in the mezzanine of the wall.
"Stop, do you have an appointment?" Before Duan Fei walked in, a warrior appeared from around the corner and stopped him.
"VIP Room No. 1" Duan Fei said calmly.
The warrior looked Duan Fei up and down before saying: "Follow me"
Duan Fei followed the warrior who led the way, walked through a deep and dark corridor that was two hundred meters long, and came to the door of a dark room in the deepest part, "Go in by yourself, the deacon has been waiting for you for a long time"
"Deacon of the auction house?" Duan Fei frowned slightly. A deacon of the auction house is the most powerful person besides the owner of the auction house.
He opened the door directly. Under the candlelight, a fat middle-aged man with a layer of sweat on his smooth forehead was waiting anxiously. When he saw Duan Fei pushing the door open, he looked slightly excited as if he wanted to welcome him. He came up and finally opened his hands, but didn't dare to move his feet.
After Duan Fei closed the door, the fat man tentatively said, "My surname is Duan"
"How do you know?" Duan Fei's expression turned cold. Under his perception, the fat man in front of him was powerless.
"Young Masterdon't get me wrong, sir, I heard about the Duan family in Shen San San many days ago.I moved to Qingyang Town, and yesterday I heard from that girl Mu Xi that you had entered the capital. Today I was at the door and saw that your appearance is somewhat similar to the master, so I took the liberty of guessing" Shen San hurriedly spat out a few words. , said out of breath.
"Duan family, Duan Fei!"
"It is indeed the young master" When Shen San heard this, he knelt down with a loud bang, "Dong dong dong" He banged his head three times, and his forehead started to bleed.
"Slave Shen San, kowtow to the young master!" After Shen San finished speaking, he rang his head three more times.
Duan Fei didn¡¯t refuse the call, he was a little worried about the trick.
"It's been four years, and finally someone from the Duan family has come to Beijing. The eldest brother and the second brother did not die in vain. I finally got my master" Shen San said, sobbing.
"Get up and talk about it, what's going on?" Looking at the blood dripping from Shen San's head, Duan Fei softened his heart. At this moment, he also figured out that if it was a trap set by the Mu family, he was still safe when he came in.
"Before I left the Cangtian Realm, I told Shen An, the chief manager of Duan's auction house. The young master was obsessed with medicine and had no intention of doing business. After he left, the auction house will be managed by my three brothers from the Shen family. When you grow up, young master, you will hand over the auction house. It¡¯s up to you to take care of it¡¡±
"I didn't expect that not long after the master left, people from the Mu family came to seize the auction house"
"Wait a minute, you mean, didn't the Mu family seize the auction house after hearing the news of my grandfather's death?" Duan Fei said in shock.
"No, the news of his death came three years after the master left. The Mu family took action half a year after the master left"
Duan Fei narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go on"
¡°My eldest brother Shen An knew that the three of us would not be able to save the auction house without him, but in order to save the auction house and give the Duan family a chance to take over in the future, we decided to play a cruel trick.
